As much as I like Springs, this "when healthy" phrase always seems to accompany any praise that is given to him. Unfortunately, as the years pass, the likelyhood of injury will continue. Therefore I don't think is worth keeping him as a CB. Maybe as a Safety.As a safety though, he's not even a starter.
Basically, if we think he can continue to be a starting corner on a team that employs DeAngelo Hall and Fred Smoot in all of their glory, we should extend his contract. If we don't feel he can stay healthy enough to be a starting corner, then we have to release him at year's end.

listen did we say anything about carlos and his injuries i bet he has missed more games than springs the last two years.........without researching i know i am within 2 or 3 games of being correct......there is something to say that if you line up springs over top of owens or any other elite reciever(steve smith, andre johnson, randy moss,....) i am way more confident with him rather than rogers.....like i said i am a huge fan of rogers, but you dont cut the best corner on your team, its a no no.......and 28 played until he was 43 at the corner position......springs can still run and still cover as good as anyone, i cant stress enough that out of hall, smoot, rogers, hes the best....there is no argument, the coaches agree youll see based on the assignments he draws week in and week out since he is been here...think in terms of best players and not younger talent...thats what you want right now, the time will come for our young guys to contribute, but for now you resign an elite nfl corner, and i think this injury bug is over projected.......rogers knee can go at anytime just like anyone elses, the more the marrier

Since 2006, Springs has missed 11 games to Carlos' 10.
So Holc is right, although curiously forgets to account for Rogers' missing 9 games thanks to a single injury, while Springs missed 11 games due to 7 or 8 different injuries.

I was the person who started the cut Torrence thread. I didn't really want him to get cut. It sucks to see anyone lose his job. But, come on guys we should have seen this coming for a long time.

Yeah, I was bashing Torrence back in preseason after watching him get toasted by rookie wideouts. I wasn't sorry to see him go.
